Explore color & weave effect with Log Cabin pattern!
Saturday, August 22, from 1-6pm
In this 5-hour hands-on workshop, weavers who’ve explored the direct warping (rigid heddle) technique will learn to warp to create a multi-color textile, creating the classic pattern of log cabin. This pattern creates a 3D-effect using alternating colors in warp and weft, making it a great next step for weavers of all skill levels.
In class, students will first learn best practices for warping their looms with multiple colors. You may borrow a rigid heddle loom to warp on or bring your own (please leave a note in the comments on which loom you will bring to warp if bringing your own). The remainder of the class will cover learning to weave with more than one color as weft and how to manage and create clean and balanced selvedges. Each student will create their own finished 10-20″ long log cabin textile to take home.
Prerequisite: Students must have taken Warp & Weave on a Rigid Heddle Loom or be comfortable warping a rigid heddle loom using the direct warping method.
All materials to warp and weave a log cabin textile are included for use. If you’re interested in learning to warp and weave on your own rigid heddle loom, please email Instructor Jeanine Ertl with what type of loom you have in advance. If you’re bringing your own rigid heddle loom to warp and weave on, please email Instructor Jeanine Ertl at aninidesigns@gmail.com to let her know which loom you will be bringing. The loom should be all set up and in working order and ready to warp and weave on.
All materials to warp & weave a log cabin textile are included for use.
